ick those lamps into third gear! Here is athird masterpiece of a lamp made by RJNJ (my junking hubby) from rescued auto parts. The first lamp has a home in our entry. The second lamp was a gift to his gear-head buddy. This one? Sold at the Prize show in October. Can't wait to see what fourth gear looks like!

STEP 1.

Start with a foundation of uber-cool gear-like auto parts.

STEP 2.

Using a lighting kit, add a rod and a few more gear-like bits & bobs (not the technical terminology). Add some shine and shimmer with a glass hurricane surround.

Awesome! I love it! I should have requested the old parts from my major car repair this past week, huh? I've never seen a transmission. Have you? It sounds like a big part, much too large for a lamp. I wonder what I could have done with it? haha
